Photograph the rarest weavers

The World's Rarest project began in 2010 - the year proclaimed by The United Nations as the International Year of Biodiversity. The aim is to highlight the plight of the most threatened species on Earth and to raise funds for their conservation. The World's Rarest project will focus initially on birds and contribute to BirdLife International's Preventing Extinctions Programme. The project starts with the launch of an exciting photo competition, which will provide the images for a new book entitled The World's Rarest Birds.
